Westboro Baptist Church to protest Game 5 in OKC tonight

I am not sure why but the ignorant and blatantly disrespectful people of Westboro will unfortunately be in OKC tonight for the Thunder-Rockets game. It is a shame that a group like this is going to interrupt one of the best events in the state because of Jason Collins coming out yesterday. It will be interesting to see what will happen but I hope that the game is makes a bigger headline tomorrow then the church. Click here for more information.

NBA top 10 dunks of the 2012-13 season

In continuing honor of the NBA playoffs, today we take a look back at the top 10 dunks of this past season. There were some very good ones from KD, Blake Griffin and more so check it out!

Tulsa hosting the 2024 Olympics?

Growing up in Tulsa I never thought I would hear the name of my city in the same sentence as the Olympics. Economically, this would be a marvelous thing for Tulsa and the state of Oklahoma. According to the Huffington post, the United States Olympic Committee wrote to about a dozen mayors including several small cities, one of them being Tulsa. Let's be clear, at this stage the city has only been acquiring information and has not made an official run to the USOC. Though this is an ambitious idea, there is no way that this will happen. First, Tulsa does not have the sports infrastructure to host an event of this magnitude. We would have to rely on bigger, surrounding cities including Dallas and Kansas City to host events and house international spectators. Keep in mind Tulsa would also have to build a billion dollar Olympic stadium. Secondly, the city itself is not ready to host the world's biggest sporting event. Yes, Tulsa had a very successful Bassmaster Classic, but it's no Olympics. As the Huffington article states, predominantly small cities have hosted the Winter Games, but the smallest city to host a Summer game was St. Louis in 1904. If the great city of Chicago cannot get the 2016 bid then what would make the IOC give Tulsa an offer. And lastly a friend of mine made a very valid point while I was discussing this story with him. Here is an exert, "I can only imagine the Olympics coming to Tulsa, one of the most segregated cities in the US. Imagine the wonderful welcome the Chinese Olympic team would receive in one of the most homogeneous cities in the world. Or what about the hospitality that the Middle Eastern nations would receive? Could they pray for victory before they competed?" As I previously stated, this is a very far fetched idea and after analyzing many factors unfortunately the 2024 Olympics will not be in Tulsa.

Tyler Lockett makes amazing catch and gets #1 play on Sportscenter

After a spectacular sophomore season last year, (44 receptions for 687 yards and four touchdowns) Tyler Lockett can add a another play to his highlight reel. An amazing acrobatic, juggling catch for a touchdown in Kansas State's spring game this past weekend. The new team captain was the #1 play on Sportscenter which is not an easy task to the least. So let's give it up for this Booker T. Washington alum and Tulsa native, for his huge accomplishments on and off the field.

Top 10 plays of the 2012-13 NBA season

In honor of the NBA season winding down there is no better way to reflect back on a season then watching crossovers, buzzer beaters and people getting dunked on. Looking at this video got me thinking that Kevin Durant will probably have his own top 10 just of him against the Rockets but that remains to be seen. Until then, happy NBA playoffs everybody, enjoy!

M-E-S-S MESS MESS MESS!

This morning it was announced that the Jets released quarterback Tim Tebow. So now the Jets go from six QB's to five. Why they still even have five still amazes me and proves how big of a train wreck this organization is right now. Let's take a look at the five left on the roster. Also please enjoy the highlight reel at the top of the page.

David Garrard: At 35 years old he is the oldest QB on the roster. He had several somewhat successful years at Jacksonville including a big playoff win at Pittsburgh. He did not play a snap last year so as to why he has not been cut yet still confuses me. Maybe they want him to mentor the younger players I have no idea.

Greg McElroy: He had a very good college career at Alabama and now in his third season had a chance in week 16 last season to prove himself but lost to San Diego. He is a smart guy and I think a good backup to have but definitely not capable of being a starter yet. And unless injuries happen he will not get that chance in New York.

Mark Sanchez: When I think of Sanchez I think of the infamous butt fumble. But I also think about how he lead the Jets to two straight AFC championship games. He STRUGGLED mightily last season but keep in mind that he had no one to throw to and he was psyched by the arrival of Tebow. He can win you some ball games especially in the playoffs. This is going to be his make or break year for him so we should all stay tuned.

Matt Simms: He should probably get cut.

Geno Smith: We are several days after the draft and I am still flabbergasted as to why the Jets drafted him. I feel really sorry for him because he is a really good quarterback and this organization is in a little mess at the moment. I imagine he will become the second string quarterback thus we will have some potential to see him in action this year which is exciting because he is an electrifying player.
